As I mentioned in my country The previous jobThe Grand Prize for these elections was its impact on the stock market. I am not sure that this is what the voters who elected this administration are, which enriched the young retirees who sits mainly in the piano throughout the day. But hey, I will enjoy it while I can.

This is the goal of this post. A warning story to enjoy it while you can only prepare yourself for the inevitable stagnation. I can’t tell you when or to what extent it will be, but there will be another recession. We are currently enjoying A third expansion period in the history of the United States. It is very close to clouds to second.

I retired in 2008 before there was a recession and in the past, I had a lot of my stock wallet to be able to rest comfortably. At that time, I got a 70 % customization for storing investment funds and specializing 30 % for bond and cash boxes. As it happens, this was enough to take it through shrinkage Without the need to sell stock funds at the prices of the basementBut it was very close to comfort. After recovering the market, which took nearly seven years by the way, It turned into the allocation of 60/40. So the next time we ride Rollercoasster down, I will not be very conceited.

Of course, the market may continue to walk up for years before the inevitable shrinkage, but if I am retired for the first time now, I will be Assuming The market is likely to decrease in the non -distant future instead of ascending. I have a allocation now that allows me to comfort you even if it takes seven years or more to recover.

It is difficult to know what this allocation is exactly without living through a rough patch. But I encourage you to run some numbers now. Learn how your money will look if you lose your stock boxes 46 % of their value. This is not hypothetical, This is the decline in the market in the first year in which it retired.

If you are preparing to withdraw the operator upon retirement, here is my advice:

1. Take a look at the current nest egg. Divide this number on your living expenses, which will not be covered by other sources of income such as social security or pensions. If you are 65 years old, this number should be about 25 years old. The more shape, the better the shape. The number of living expenses in the years that you have before calculating inflation and profits on the nest egg. History offers This should take you at least 33 years by retirement, even if our markets are facing markets that match the 33 -year -old in the last century.
2. Now, look at your stable liquid origins-bond boxes in the short term. Divide this number on living expenses, which will not be covered by other income sources. As a reference point, the stock market took nearly seven years to reach the peak level it achieved in 2007 before stagnation. Do you have enough to live in if it takes a long time again, or will you have to sell some of your stocks with huge discounts to keep your head over the water? Any share that you sell below is gains that you will not see again when the market returns. I have made these losses permanent.
3. Take your wallet and hit the shares side of it by 46 %. Now put this number of your total wallet. Divide the result according to the annual expenditures that are not covered by other sources. How different is the number I reached in the first place-which we hoped for about 25? Try something else. Divide this reduced portfolio on the number you reached in No. 1. Can you know a way to live on the resulting number instead of the number you were depending on?
4. Historically, if you retire with 25 times your expenses at the age of 65, you are likely to be fine even without controlling your spending. But how does the default situation feel #3 for you? Doesn’t it make you feel the desire to make some cuts? It made me feel as if I reduced expenses in 2008 (2009 and 2010!)

Although I have three years of money available to me in 2008 and a few years in short -term bond boxes, I will remind you, I was tense. The customization of 70/30 was very aggressive so that I was not allowed to rest well. But a large part of our budget was estimated spending. So we made adjustments. We stopped for large holidays and when we traveled, we used the miles of airlines and the exchange of home. We took it easily on entertainment and eating abroad. We have lived greatly under the budget During the first three years of our retirement.

What might think about a long shrinkage? Do you have a plan to reduce its size, Part -time captureOr a reasonable expectation to inherit money in the future? How will you make it work if you have to overcome this type of storm?

Another exercise I would like to suggest. Try all of the above again with a clearer allocating the wallet towards cash and bonds. How does this feel? You may need to customize more conservative. You must feel right for you.

I do not say that I expect to endure this severe recession again, but why not only be prepared in a state. Don’t only build your retirement plan on your “number” today. This number may not be tomorrow, next year, or the following year.

Perhaps we will be lucky, those that have the longest expansion in history. Nothing is lost for you after that. I was ready for the worse and then got the best.
